Goodwill Seeking New Site

  
Goodwill of Western & Northern Connecticut is in search of a new location for its Naugatuck donation station.  The donation station, which has been located at 195 Water Street for more than fifteen years, closed on January 29 because the property was sold.
 
This location in Naugatuck served over 12,000 local donors in 2015 alone, providing them with a convenient and trusted source for their gently used donations. The next closest donation station to this site is in Waterbury.
 
“The donation station is extremely important to this community, and we are asking local property owners to help find an alternative location,” said Vickie L. Volpano, President & CEO, Goodwill of Western and Northern Connecticut.  “The donations are critical to our success, as the revenue generated funds our mission – to help people find jobs.”
 
Any local property owners that would like additional information please reach out to Ken Bennett, Vice President of Retail at kbennett@gwct.org or 203.581.5357.
